Show Executive Presence in How You Deal with Criticsby Valerie Sokolosky - Aug, 2015We all have them—critics I mean. They can be as close as the person across the breakfast table or as distant as an unknown source of a nasty “Tweet” on your Twitter account. You can’t control what critics say, but you can control your reactions! Maintain composure by considering how the criticism may just be an opportunity for your growth. Dwelling on the negative will only cause stress and doubt. Who needs that?!

This Four Letter Word Will Boost Your Productivityby Alexandra Levit - Aug, 2015Perfectionists are often reminded that “done is better than perfect.” But it turns out that there’s another reason we should all try to create more “done” moments in our workdays.
Fellow Fast Track writer Alison Green tipped me off to a great new study on productivity, and it reminded me of a British sci-fi movie I just watched called Frequencies. In it, human beings interact with the world and with each other based on thei...

3 Ways to Get to Happiness in Your Career and Healthby Tiffany Young - Aug, 2015Just a few days ago, I had a friend propose that we start working out together. I thought that was the best idea I heard all summer. Sweet! Any excuse to get in shape and do healthy activities sounded great.
Before we ended the conversation, she also enlisted my help in finding her a new job. Hold up! It’s one thing to work out, but now she wanted to look for a new job? I thought to myself, I have no time for this and that....

Do What You Love and the Money Will Comeby Mary V. Davids - Aug, 2015I often ask my clients “What would you do for free?” before we begin our career coaching sessions. I’ve found that most people pick careers based on the probability of money being made. But it isn’t until we exclude the benefit of money that we begin to sincerely discover what we naturally love. Understanding this is like finding a golden nugget in the deepest darkest cave or seeing the sparkle of a rare diamond you have waite...

If You Want to Get Ahead, Stop Talking!by Bernie Frazier - Aug, 2015Like all of you, I have interacted with thousands of people over the years. Having spent 25 years in recruiting and most of that time in Human Resources, my numbers are probably higher than most. I can’t tell you how many of them were bored, burned out, frustrated and wanted more from their career. They talked about it all the time. There was just one problem – all they did was talk about it. There was very little (or ver...

Market Your Skills for a Second Incomeby Rowe Leathers - Aug, 2015I am an enthusiastic believer in volunteering as the best way to gain experience in a new field. However, as some have pointed out, those with busy schedules and tight budgets rarely have free time to give away. For many, the little time that can be carved out needs to be utilized to earn additional income.
If you are one of the many who would welcome a second income, it may be a good time to assess your knowledge and talen...

The LinkedIn Summary Dilemma: Use "I" or Not?by Jean Cummings - Aug, 2015LinkedIn profile writing is a challenge. And there are ways in which the LinkedIn profile summary section is still the Wild West. The LI summary is a blank page only restricted by the 2000 character limit.

People know that LI is the premier business networking site. I...
